dreams2movies Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hey guys, GH2 owner.. I have seen Rokinon's 7.5mm Fisheye they have for m43'rds and then I saw their 85mm F14 telephoto lens made for 4/3rds (on my wish list) for $300!! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/769411-REG/Rokinon_85M_O_85mm_f_1_4_Aspherical_Lens.html So I decided to take a look at their site and find out they have some also a 24mm F1.4 lens for $800.. I know its not as popular as the Voig F0.95 http://www.rokinon.com/product.php?id=191 Furthermore, they even have CINE lenses coming soon, including a 8mm HD Fisheye T lenses http://www.rokinon.com/product.php?id=206 and 35mm T1.5 CINE lens for Canon (for now hopefully).. http://www.rokinon.com/product.php?id=202 under $600 !!!!!! deal or no deal?? Wanted to get other people feedback about Rokinon and their come up with lens for both photographers and now cinematographers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchentable Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Apologies if you know this already, but if you are looking for more reviews, you should search for 'Samyang' as this is the brand name used for them in Europe. I've got the 85 and the 24. Can't really complain about the performance or value of either (although the 24 is relatively 'expensive' is Samyang terms so doesn't seem as much of a steal as the 85). Andrew did an extensive review of the 24 on here earlier this year with interesting comparisons between it and the the alternative from Sigma [url="http://www.eoshd.com/content/7024/samyang-24mm-f1-4-ed-as-if-review"]http://www.eoshd.com/content/7024/samyang-24mm-f1-4-ed-as-if-review[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreams2movies Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hey Thanks alot, I will definitely check out Andrew review. Also do you have any videos up with the 2 Rokinon/Samyang lenses? Do you use them for photography and cinematography? Have any low light videos up? if not can you shoot some? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchentable Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I use them for stills so don't have any low light footage. There is a Samyang flickr pool which has tons of examples from the different lenses in the range.

dreams2movies Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 yep, I already checked out the flicks on flickr.. so you do more photography than cine? what camera do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchentable Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No, I do both, just not used the Samyang's for any filming of any note other than just a couple of tests with a D800. They'll probably see more action when the BMD eventually shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreams2movies Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 ok, whats BMD? did you see that Rokinon is making a CINE version of their lens, starting with the 24 and 35, so the aperture ring will be smooth instead of clicks, and will have teeth for follow focus, and markings on lens.. Interested in those as well for my prime list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
